Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP)
Description:
Brain natriuretic peptide is a 32 amino acid polypeptide secreted by the ventricles of the heart in response to excessive stretching of myocytes in the ventricles. At the time of release, a co-secreted 76 amino acid N-terminal fragment (NT-proBNP) is also released with BNP. BNP binds to and activates NPRA in a similar fashion to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) but with 10-fold lower affinity.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Westen Blot Other applications have not been tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 0.5ug/ml detects BNP in 10ug rat spleen lysate.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
